First off, congrats to Craig S. of Yuba City, Calif., for winning a Zero1.tv VooMote One in last week's giveaway. Looking to turn the volume up to 11? Then you'll want to tune in to this week's giveaway.

It's a versatile little system. You can use the Zona speakers to blast audio from your computer or mobile music player. Or you can use them as wireless surrounds for your home theater or as a stand-alone stereo system for your office, bedroom, den, or secret hideout.

The speakers measure 9.9 inches high by 6 inches wide by 6.3 inches deep and have wireless range up to 150 feet, with up to 300 feet line of sight. The wireless transmitter measures about the size of a hockey puck.

The Aperion Audio Zona Wireless Surround Speaker System has gotten high marks from reviewers across the board and normally would cost you $499, but here's your chance to get one gratis. How? Well, there are a few rules, so please listen up. There will be a test.
